Estalagem do Mar

This is a lovely hotel in a nice peaceful setting right by the sea.  Whatever room you have there is a sea view and it is amazing.  The staff were all lovely, friendly and helpful especially Lydia and Thiago in the restaurant.  We stayed bed and breakfast but we did have a few evening meals which we paid for and were very nice.  It is a buffet but everything was nicely presented.  There is not a lot of night life here but that suited us fine but we did frequent a bar called Porto de Abrigo most nights which actually sold Alt beer which is a bitter and not a lager.  You can also taste local Madeira wines for free if you want to.  It is run by Raphael and Carlos who were very nice and friendly.  We did go to Funchal for the day and went on the cable car ride and the toboggan ride and that was fun.  This hotel is very quiet and probably would not suit you if you have children as there is not a lot for them to do.  The only disappointment for us was that the Jacuzzi was not working during our two week stay which is one of the reasons why I booked this hotel.  The Receptionist said they are waiting for a part.  Also there is no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms.  However the room was nice and clean and has good air conditioning.  I cannot fault this hotel it is lovely and I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend it!

Lovely holiday

Amazing stay 15 August until 25
What an amazing hotel the sweeping seaview ,amazing circular pool,friendly and helpful staff.one of our suitcases did not arrive and the staff on reception were sympathetic and kept us informed they should get a medal
We cannot remember her name but she helped us with the lost luggage and changing rooms on the 15 August - we want to give her lots of praise for being a great help throughout the stay.
The buffet dinner was amazing and reasonable priced,clean rooms with air con.
The club Sandwich be warned at lunch is enormous great to much  for one person, while sipping a cool drink looking out over the ocean -was it a dream!
Breakfast buffet wow think Hawaii and thunderbird Tracy island and that is the view while tucking into your breakfast 
If you want to really get away and chill,feel safe and relax with good food and a welcoming and attentive staff ,this is the place.

We only stayed here 1 night and that was okay. The hotel was okay but nothing more than that. Clean. Great location next to the ocean. Fantastic view. 
We went to the little pizzeria 300 m from the hotel to dine cause the buffet on the hotel was not our taste. 

The hotel is okay for 1 night but we were glad that us was just that. Maybe the feeling would be better in the summertime.

This hotel was a bit older than we thought. The breakfast was okay but we had better

Vegetarians be advised you should inspect the advertised “Vegetarian Dish” before deciding whether or not to go to the dinner buffet. Staff were gracious and kind and put it right, but the food standard should have been better in the first place, and surely they must have known this. One simply shouldn’t have to ask, but the chef will make other vegetarian options if asked. They had no business serving a cold over-boiled bag of frozen vegetables and calling it a main course on the menu next to the reception area. Fortunately, the creamy vegetable soup was delicious and the desserts were outstanding. Staff were apologetic and kind, but I feel like if no one says anything, then many guests will continue to put up with this as a side dish and the kitchen will think that what they are providing is acceptable.

I think it’s only fair to mention in their favour, that I noticed at breakfast that there was a small but separate Gluten Free area. The mainstream breakfast was good and had a lot of variety, including whole pieces of fruit.

The receptionists were delightful and friendly. There seemed to always be someone on duty, and they were approachable. There was good communication—the receptionist in the morning already knew about our meal the night before. 

The room was clean and exactly as expected with a lovely view and balcony. I wish the beds had been made up as a double, as requested, rather than two side by side twins. Maybe it’s a Madeira thing, as this isn’t the only place this happened. My bed was comfy and I got a good night’s sleep accompanied by the sound of the waves. 


Lovely hotel with gracious staff, but the Vegetarian Dish could be improved.

Very good and cozy hotel near the Atlantic ocean. The room was small but good, it was missing a fridge though. The food was very delicious. Staff was kind and helpful. The location of the hotel is in a comfortable place, there is a bus stop nearby, but the best way to travel around Madeira is to rent a car from the hotel.

Good and cozy
